@B3ND3R (Look at my profile pic; I'm a huge fan of the series)Already played it twice through. And yes, you're correct. 210 hours of my life gone.
Also I meant exclusive games. Not ported "exclusives."
The headphone jack is still on the bottom in the middle? Ugh major missed opportunity! Still sounds promising. I'll just have to wait and see if there are any worthwhile exclusive games for it.
@SkywardLink98 @Grumblevolcano Oh yeah I forgot about that. Either way I still hope we get another stage from XC. And more levels for Smash Wii U in general. But I'm sure as we get closer to a solid release date we'll hear more info about exclusive levels.
So the 3DS version has Gaur Plain from Xenoblade Chronicles, a home console game. I understand that to justify having Shulk in both versions they have to have at least a stage from his game, and I'll be fine with the 3DS having a home console game's stage as long as the Wii U gets an exclusive stage from Xenoblade Chronicles. Cause each version is supposed to have stages from previous portable and home games depending on which version it is(the 3DS version gets stages from previous portable titles and the Wii U version gets stages from previous home console titles). And if we don't get more exclusive stages for Smash Wii U I'll be pissed.
Oh looks like I'm late to the comments. But anyway I'm so excited about this! Picking it up on day 1. The only thing this review lacks is any mention about the soundtrack
Happy birthday!! The U.S. was 35 states at the time of Nintendo's founding and the President was Benjamin Harrison. That's crazy to think about. They've been around for a long time and are thankfully still around.
Sorry but this is a couple of ignorant teens they selected from the crowd. They DO NOT represent the youth as a whole. I'm 15 and knew how to turn the NES on and how to put in the cartridge the right way the first time I encountered one when I was 7 or 8. It's not complicated. This doesn't prove anything other than that a lot of parents(not all of them; I won't be categorizing every parent in the world into a group like many people are categorizing every teen in the world due to this video) are spoiling their kids and not giving them the necessary history lessons.
I'm probably gonna pick this up. but... am I the only one who feels like this is unfairly getting more attention than the Wii U release. also I don't think this is going to help Wii U sales. But I could be totally wrong so don't get mad at me for having a thought on this.
So is this like a new console or just a new model. Did Iwata say new model or new console? Cuz if this is a new model I'm pissed. You don't release a newer model of something and then release exclusive games for it to bait people into buying it. That's cheap. Nintendo did an Apple with this.
And I feel sorry for the people that will be playing this game for the first time on the new 3DS. The epic, sprawling vastness and sense of incredible awe felt when you first see the Bionis' Leg and pretty much all the areas in this game cannot be felt to such an incredible degree on a 4 inch screen.
WHHHHY does Nintendo keep doing this to Monolith Soft's incredible masterpiece?! First they release it in limited supply to ONLY gamestop and much to their surprise it sells out like crazy and they don't have enough supply to meet demand. What do they do? Of course they wouldn't send more copies of it over to America. They just sit back and let people sell it for hundreds of dollars on ebay! Now, instead of shipping more Wii copies or making it available for the original 3DS, they shut off 30 million current 3DS users(I think that's the number) by only releasing it on the new one that I'm definitely not buying. Nintendo hardly ever disappoints me or pisses me off but this does both for me.
Ugh I've been at music camp all week so I'm late to the party. Anyway my vote goes for Xenoblade Chronicles X just because I've been dying for some new footage. Although the Zelda announcement was incredible as well!
@Mahe Hmmm I'm not really sure what your talking about. I know it's your opinion but sometimes opinions stink, and your's does. Personally, I haven't found a single PS4 or Xbone game that's matched the level of quality and pure fun that the top 5 have. That's just me though.
Seriously!?! What the heck!!!??? People are mad about them adding a new technique to shorten lap times??? Might as well remove drifting! Oh and while they're at it take out drafting as we'll cuz I hardly ever get it right cuz it's too hard. sarcasm
I thought Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed was a pretty fun game. But idk. It just didn't have that addictiveness that Mario Kart always has had. And so I've maybe played it like 4 times since I got it.
Meh. Never had a gamecube and so therefore never grew up with the controller. Still great for all the people who grew up with this control scheme for smash, but the Wii remote suits me just fine. It's great that about everyone can enjoy the same game with pretty much any control scheme they want now!
What if she said "It's not what you think..." to take the obvious(her participating somehow in the Zelda Wii U announcement) out of our minds so that that wouldn't be what we're thinking. Then we would be thinking it's going to be something else and then when she announces Zelda Wii U then we won't be expecting it! I'm kidding about this whole thing...
Kinda disappointing. I mean don't get me wrong. I loooove smash and I can't wait for it. But it's already gotten a lot of attention and news. And honestly it's just a fighting game. There probably isn't much more info that we don't know about. And I do wish they had a new Wii U title to announce. The 3DS already has tons of attention and games. Not so with the Wii U. But the only game that could be announced for 3DS that would actually make me interested would be Monolith Soft's unannounced 3DS title.
Wow the gamepad's use is yet again very disappointing. I'm still definitely picking this up! But you'd think they would at least make it useable for a 5th player in local multiplayer. And also put a radar on the screen. Oh well.
I seem to be the only one that enjoyed the movie. Oh well. Sucks for the people that didn't like it. Guess they can't enjoy a good, fun, summer superhero movie. It happened to be my favorite Marvel movie and the best Spider-Man movie imo. And I guess I'm the only one who thinks the reboots(movies only) are MUUUUUCH better than the original trilogy. The original trilogy was pretty good and even great at the time of their release. But they haven't aged well at all. The funny gags aren't really that funny now and they're all painfully cheesy.
I really hope they know what they're doing with this. As soon as they announced the game would be released on both consoles I was pretty disappointed anyway. But now I'm more so. Seems like they desperately want the wii u version to fail.
Yeah this game, my favorite game of all time, has my favorite title screen theme of any title screen theme I've heard before. (It might just be that the two most relevant instruments are violin and piano, my favorite instruments, but still).
I think the gaming industry needs to get with the times and realize that(last I checked) around 40% of gamers are female. Now I'm not a female myself, but I can sympathize with them.
Everyone that hasn't gotten it yet, GET IT while it's this cheap! I don't think it'll ever get any cheaper. And it's an incredible game that I really didn't mind spending $80 for. It's in my top 3 favorite games.
I was too amazed to comment yesterday. So now I just have to say... FINALLY something!!! The combat looks quite a bit more fluid and varied than Xenoblade's. And we got to see a freakin mech fighting!!! THANK YOU NINTENDO!!!!! This is what I've been waiting for since E3!
